Katyuhina, T. V. Human as the First Silent Creature in the World

Abstract: the phenomena of silence is one of the most interesting and mysterious topics in philosophy. On one hand, there is always something “unspeakable” and on the other hand, we can’t speak of silence if we don’t understand the nature of the language. There are many theories of the language origin but they do not reveal the phenomena of “Homo silent”. Silence is a sacred side of our Self, a unique world of imagination which distinguishes us from all the other creatures. Silence is the tool of building another reality where a person forgets his biological and social attributes and discovers his own “self”.
